The only thing that I do not like is the default partitioning schema in the Fedora installation. It creates a partition for the system (mounted at “/”), and one for the user home (mounted at “/home”). When setting up the partition schema, I let Fedora set the default and then remove the “/home” partition and extend the root partition to maximum, that is the entire space. The partitioning tool shows you in the left corner at the bottom the entire space on your drive. I also chose to encrypt the drive, by the way.

Interesting questions:

Will all devices work?

Will the wirless work?

What about an encrypted drive on a SSD? Is it configured correctly so that the TRIM function works?

Activate KDE Connect on Fedora and Android

If you want to activate KDE Connect on Fedora, you need to open Firewall Configuration. Change to Configuration: Permanent. Select your default configuration, e.g. public and in Services activate kde-connect. In the Options menu activate Reload Firewalld. On your Android device install KDE Connect and refresh, pair and connect to your Fedora system.

The default settings seem to be allowing my encrypted drive to apply the TRIM function.

Suspend in the default configuration did work even with the lid-close. Surprising was, it did work with the lid-open. Fedora wakes up when you open the lid!

Some commercial software comes only with a Debian package. Use alien to set those up. Most important packages (say Oracle JDK) are available as RPM-packages. My favorite JetBrains IDEs like CLion, PyCharm, WebStorm, IntelliJ IDEA work just fine. I set those up in /opt, create a generic symbolic link to the original folder, configure a PATH variable in /etc/profile.d, repair the .desktop-files to point to the generic symbolic link folder to catch future updates.
